Reborn to marry a playboy, the scumbag kneels down and calls me aunt

Night, wind and rain.

Raindrops hit the eaves, and the air was filled with water vapor, mixed with the fragrance of earth and grass. Even if you are inside the house, you can smell it clearly, which is truly refreshing.

On the large carved bed, Shen Xuanheng lay on his side, with his big hand around Su Xuqing's waist, hugging her tightly.

In the darkness, Su Xuqing blinked her bright eyes and said thoughtfully, "Husband, do you think those assassins were hired by Su Min'er?"

Shen Xuanheng groaned for a moment, then slowly shook his head.

"I don't think so. The last killer was decisive and ruthless. He is obviously an expert. He is not an ordinary street thug, but a real killer. Su Min'er is a short-sighted woman. How can she find such a killer? Even if she finds one, it will cost several thousand taels of silver to hire so many people to do it."

As he spoke, Shen Xuanheng hugged Su Xuqing tighter, and then said, "I looked through the account books of each room today, and the second room didn't have any large expenditures. What's more, even if Li hates you, she won't be willing to spend so much money to let Su Miner hire someone to kill you..."

Su Xuqing nodded, "That's true..."

Turning over, Su Xuqing buried her head in Shen Xuanheng's arms and muttered, "But if it wasn't someone from the Second House, who else would want to kill me? I haven't offended anyone else, have I?"

Shen Xuanheng shrank back, held Su Xuqing's cheek and kissed her, "Don't think too much. Since the killer is from the underworld, please ask Liang Heng to help investigate this matter. Maybe it will be more efficient than the government. Tomorrow I will go to Tianxing Pavilion in person, and he will probably give me this face."

"Pavilion Master Liang..."

Shen Xuanheng felt that Su Xuqing's tone was a little hesitant, so he asked: "Why? Do you think it's inappropriate?"

Su Xuqing shook her head and rubbed Shen Xuanheng's chest.

"It's not that it's wrong, I just feel like I owe him a lot of favors, and when will we be able to pay him back?"

Shen Xuanheng looked strange when he heard this.

"It's better to have too much debt than to be burdened by it. You can pay it back slowly in the future."

"Oh, right!"

Su Xuqing raised her head suddenly, and her forehead hit Shen Xuanheng's chin with a thump.

"it hurts!"

Su Xuqing covered her forehead with one hand and reached out from under the quilt with the other hand to rub Shen Xuanheng's chin, "Husband, does it hurt?"

"It hurts! It hurts so much!"

Shen Xuanheng suddenly pulled Su Xuqing out of the bed, pressed her down on the bed and kissed her hard, then said with a smile: "But it's different after the kiss."

Su Xuqing wiped the saliva from her mouth and pouted, "You're taking advantage of me again."

"You are my wife, it is only natural." Shen Xuanheng lowered his eyes, then said "Hmm?", "You dare to pout? Kiss me again!"

His handsome face was close to hers. Even at night, she could clearly see the angles on his face and the smooth jawline. He was extremely handsome. Su Xuqing covered her heart with her hands and clenched her toes together, allowing you to take pictures of her.

The kiss lasted for a cup of tea, and Su Xuqing gasped and her cheeks turned red.

Shen Xuanheng lay on his back contentedly, then glanced at Su Xuqing, "What did you want to say just now?"

Su Xuqing's mind was a mess at the moment, and it took her a long time to remember what she was about to say.

"I met Tang Xue and the eldest prince at West Lake today..."

Such and such, such and such.

Su Xuqing told Tang Xue about her recent situation, and then expressed her deep emotion.

"It really proves the old saying that everything is determined by fate and cannot be controlled by humans. In the past, the little princess had pockmarks on her face. Although she was ridiculed behind her back, she is still free and easy in the future. With the status of the Princess's Mansion, it won't be difficult for her to marry a husband of her dreams in the future..."

"But now." Shen Xuanheng took over her words and said slowly: "The pockmarks on her face are gone, and the road ahead has also changed. All the gifts of fate are secretly marked with a price."

Su Xuqing sighed and hugged Shen Xuanheng tightly, "I should have known not to treat her pockmarks."

Shen Xuanheng was gentler and smoothed her messy hair away. "You are not a god, how could you know so much in advance?"

"Husband, is there no other way to deal with the little princess's problem? The expression on her face today was really pitiful."

Shen Xuanheng hesitated for a moment, thought about it and said, "This matter is not something you and I can interfere with. I will just talk about it casually, and you can just listen to it and understand the situation in the court."

"Uh-huh."

Su Xuqing pricked up her ears and nudged herself into Shen Xuanheng's arms again, as if no matter how close she was, it was never enough.

"Our Daliang State has been in existence for more than 300 years since Emperor Taizu. After Emperor Taizu's death, Daliang has had 12 emperors. During this period, except for Emperor Xuanzong who was the leader of the revival, Daliang State has been on the decline. To this day, the national strength of Liang State is less than one-third of its heyday. During this time, the law of the jungle has always been the same. Liang State is gradually declining, and small border countries have frequently harassed it. If there are wars every year, Daliang State will sooner or later become an empty shell, and then the people will rise up against it and replace it."

At this point, Shen Xuanheng thought of his grandfather who was still fighting at the border when he was over 70 years old. He sighed and said, "So if Liang wants to quell the unrest at the border, it has to marry a princess and make amends. Our emperor's seven daughters, except for those who died young, were all married off. The youngest was only eleven years old when she got married. But I never thought that the eldest prince would actually set his sights on Tang Xue. Throughout the dynasties, I have never heard of a princess marrying a princess."

After hearing this, Su Xuqing sighed softly. Even the princess could not escape the fate of marrying off a foreign prince. It seemed that Tang Xue would not be able to escape this time either.

"It seems there is no better solution."

Shen Xuanheng shook his head, "Not entirely... The emperor is now over fifty years old, and the position of the crown prince is still undecided. He seems to want to let the two princes fight with their own abilities to see who is more capable of consolidating the country. Regarding the situation at the border, the eldest prince advocates marriage, while the third prince advocates war. He thinks that those people at the border should be beaten and frightened, otherwise people's greed will be unknown. Today, he will make amends for the marriage and get a good night's sleep, but tomorrow, when he looks around the four borders, tigers and wolves will come again."

Hearing the words "Third Prince", Su Xuqing frowned subconsciously. In her previous life, she was bullied in the Zhen'an Palace and was left alone and helpless. After her uncle's family found out, they went to Shen Chejin to argue with him and beat him up in desperation.

Shen Chejin was narrow-minded, and he used the power of the third prince to accuse his uncle's family of treason and collaborating with the enemy, so his entire uncle's family was implicated.

However, in this life, Su Xuqing controls her own destiny. As long as she can cure Shen Xuanheng and keep him alive, her uncle's family will not suffer such a disaster just to vent their anger on her.

Su Xuqing put her worries aside for the moment, and murmured, "So, the Third Prince is still quite courageous?"
